SAN DIEGO – Padres President of Baseball Operations/General Manager A.J. Preller said during a Wednesday media briefing that manager Bob Melvin will be back to lead the team for the 2024 season.
Personally, for myself, it feels like a lost and missed opportunity. It’s not every year, as a general manager, that you can honestly look up at the start of the season and say ‘if we get a few breaks, we could hoist the World Series trophy,’ and I felt that way at the start of this year.
Preller said the team would not comment publicly on a potential contract extension for Melvin, who enters 2024 in the final year of this three-year deal. Regarding questions on the team’s payroll possibly being reduced for next season, Preller said owner Peter Seidler and members of the organization will evaluate that situation in the coming weeks.
